May he find] an inscribed object bearing my name, [anoint (it) with oil, make an offering], (and) return (it) [t]o its place. The god Aššur [will (then) hear his] pray[ers].

1Note that the inclusion of a-na-ku “I” in line 3 is grammatically awkward in inscriptions beginning with É.GAL mdEN.ZU-ŠEŠ.MEŠ-eri-ba “Palace of Sennacherib.”

2lu-li-mu er-šú “wise prince”: The translation follows AHw p. 562 and CDA p. 185. The basic meaning of lulīmu is “stag.”

3The translation assumes that li-i-tu ù da-na-nu ša i-na tu-kul-ti d-šur EN-ia “all the mighty victories, with the support of the god Aššur, my lord” appeared in the line now missing immediately before rev. 1´.
